Double Post: We had some server trouble yesterday so here's a nice juicy double post to sink your cyber teeth into. Enjoy!

So we're looking through the All Style Apparel and Active wear catalog here at the office and a couple pages in one of the models start looking real familiar.



I'm like, hey Yvonne give me that. Oh shi*t is that...



Holy crap, its Browner doing a sandal wheelie!

Yeah we have our own Nascar. No biggie..



NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Brian Keselowski # 92 K-Automotive Dodge reppin' IS Eyewear



"IS Eyewear, the fastest gangsta shade in the Nascar game" - Brian Keselowski

So if you read this thing at all you know we have our flow team working hard on their very own video project this season called "Party Snake" of which they pretty much have free rein to do whatever. The only thing I've stressed is to have our updated logo and website on the teaser. At least they pulled through on the logo. Hopefully for the video they can figure out the correct web address.


partysnake from leepipes on Vimeo.

As you can see this isn't going to be a pretty little art snowboard flick. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little worried. We're also gathering footage from the rest of the IS Eyewear allstars (Dev, Wille, Tadashi, Kale, Duff, Andrew Fuller...) for the Party Snake video which will most likely be its own section. Here's the type of footage you can expect from them..



The video will available online but we'll most likely be doing a small run of DVD's with tons of video extras which will be available for free at premieres, through friends of friends and online. Kale is working on his own Airhole video this year as well which we're working on including within the party snake DVD. Its gonna be out there so be ready!

Holy crap.. Did you see that Party Snake teaser yet? If so there's really only been two responses. 1. You loved it and can't wait to see more or 2. You hated it and wish it would die. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground on this on. Check out some of the comments I found on the Gnarcore site.

I'm still waiting on a revised teaser before I post it directly in the furious blog but you can check the rough version out on the Gnarcore site or find it on FB. There's some pretty funny comments there too:

This year our spring shoot consisted of four park sessions, Aspen, Whistler, Grouse Mountain and Mount Washington.

As witnessed in the blog below titled "One way to get to the next shoot" our journey from the session at Grouse Mountain to Mount Washington was an unforgettable experience to say the least.

To our crews delight the spring session at Mount Washington turned out to deliver unexpected pow freshies for all to enjoy.

But the Highlight of the trip was the night of KAZU aka GIZO. A few of the crew on our last night went out for Gizos B-day and did it up pretty well as you will see, look for the DVD easter egg aptly named Night of Gizo.

The infamous Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival is almost all wrapped up here in Whistler. One more weekend of parties and world-class events left to go. Our new spring teaser premiered at two of the biggest events all week; the 72 Hour Filmmaker Showdown that was won by our very own local superstar Robjn Taylor. His film ‘Arbitrarily Pear’ was hilarious and very well shot. That short film will be up on here soon for all of you to check out. We also showed the new teaser last night at the world renowned Pro Photo Showdown. Very special thanks go out to Sue, Lily and all the great people from Watermark for all the great exposure and support during these amazing events. Check out the new, spring teaser for our latest film that will be released in September 2008, ‘All Day Everyday’.

Thanks so much
Enjoy !

Just when you thought Fridays in Whistler couldn't get any cooler. Long time whistler local Jeff Paterson (no, not the photog, a different one) had the smarts to bring in local icon Wes Makepeace to fuel the night at the Fitz pub in the upper village. Wes shows no mercy as he belts and shouts his ever popular whiskey ramblings and horse musical renditions of everything from Warren Zevon to Bob Dylan. If your lucky he'll play the room-filling sing-along "War is hell" which was made popular as the credits track to the mind blowingly insane shred flick POP by Absinthe Film's. Or my favorite "Winter hills of the shred dogs" which also found its way on to a shred sound track as Sean Johnson wisely chose it to end the highly popular trick flick PROMO COPY, damn that one almost wore out my dvd player. As of late Wes has been leaking some gems from his soon to be released album, although don't ask him about it though cause he doesn't know when its coming out either.wes_arm_up.jpgput your hand up if you wanna partyThe Fitz Pub which use to be BBK's is located up by the Chateau whistler so there' always a bunch of uptight tourists to piss off as you stumble out of the tiny pub for a smoke and a joke. The night has become so popular that it almost imploded on it self two weeks ago when the room got so packed you couldn't even move. The next thing you know you'd been pushed around so much that you were standing next to Wes bumping his whiskey and kicking the cardboard box that his percussionist Mark Bannock uses as a make shift base drum. I'm serious, the box gets duct taped to the floor and fixed with a kick pedal. The only problem with the box is... well, its a cardboard box and i'll be interested to see how long it lasts as it serves as a drip catcher for the barrage of drinks that gets relayed between the two as they put the all-you-can-drink-for-the-band rule to the test.bannock-copy.jpgWhy are drummers always so agro? "The box" and the angriest photo you'll ever see of Mark bannock Wes Makepeace and Mark Bannock play every Friday night at the Fitz Pub in Whitsler at around 9 or 10pm. See you there...if you can get in.

As a snowboarder, have you ever wanted to travel to far away places? Most likely you have and even given it a try. The hard part is finding the right place to go and having an idea of what to expect once you get there. With this is mind the guys at ATG Media are developing a knew way to create and distribute snowboarding films and doing it with a different style then your regular video. This season’s film is titled “Translocation”, and it is a new way to look at snowboarding film. “Translocation” is a 16mm and HD travel based video that spotlights some of the world’s best snowboarders traveling to some of the sickest mountain ranges this planet has to offer.

Instead of filming all season to create one video with different riders parts, The “Translocation” project aims to take a different approach at delivering it’s content. “The video will come out at different times throughout the year, highlighting each location they visit throughout the year. Viewers can then watch the film literally as it is being made. In October 2008 they will release a travel book and DVD that will showcase all their travels. The book will include photos, maps and tons of information on the hot spots to visit.

Back in Chile for the Burton’s summer photoshoot

Victoria Jealouse, Natasza Zureck and I  are going to Lonquimay which is about 10 hours drive from Santiago.. I love to come down here for the Burton summer photoshoot cause we team up with 2Tiempos, a sled company pull together by Christian Vahrhan.. this guys guys are dope! Los Andes are huge  and deep mountains with Volcanos and the sleds make them easily accessible.. they  avoid extra hiking too.. J

The Orange Truck came to pick us up at Santiago’s airport for a long drive.. we decided to stop at the ocean in Pichilemu on the way after we heard that the waves were huge that day! And they were! Man I had never seen such big waves and by the time we got there, they were much smaller they said! The morning of the same day some Chilean surfers had droped into 12 meters high waves.. one of the surfers even just paddled into it! C R A Z Y !
Last year one of them had won the Billabong XL Award on one of these waves..
I m glad we got to see that! Cause traveling like mad I often don’t get the opportunity to see anything else then mountains..

We got here in Lonquimay which is a very remote place, in poor snow conditions.. the worse snow conditions I had ever seen actually! After a day of scoping and a day of studio shoot we went to the Market waiting for the rain to stop.. that was cool! I got cool bellaclavas for the cold times.. like sledding days or bike missions or anything like that..
Victoria and I were on a mission.. we love south American markets and any cultural shopping days! And we got tons of really cool sick dope earings!

Victoria always has crazy stories to tell.. and this time she came prepared with tons of dvds and printed sheets etc.. she is rad! Finally the weather cleared up for the last day.. all excited and curious on what we would find we first got stuck about in the mud.. but the guys thought they had big muscles and could push us through that crazy f*cked up dirt road..
Only an hour later they admitted we wouldn’t make it.. so we got on the sleds.. crossing the road bank from one side to the other.. trying to find a way through the bush the river the houses and the dirt.. most of the snow had melted and the way was hard to find..

We finally made it to the top of the mountain from where we could see a huge lava river from a volcano that exploded in 88 I think..  C R A Z Y !
we were right next to the crater that exploded.. so I decided to hike and to check what was in there.. it took me quite wild to get to the top.. all rocks were falling under my feet and the heat coming out of the ground didn’t make me feel any more comfortable.. scared that I was gonna blow up the next second.. the crater was cool! The were caves sucked in the snow to deeper level of the earth.. with smoke coming out from time to time..
I felt blessed being up there! First and probably last time I was gonna be on top of a volcano! Then I straped in my Gtwin and rode the dirty black sticky snow down the volcano..
S T O K E D !

That’s it for 2007 Chile. Hopefully we ll get better conditions next year!

As a snowboarder, have you ever wanted to travel to far away places? Most likely you have and even given it a try. The hard part is finding the right place to go and having an idea of what to expect once you get there. With this is mind the guys at ATG Media are developing a knew way to create and distribute snowboarding films and doing it with a different style then your regular video. This season’s film is titled “Translocation”, and it is a new way to look at snowboarding film. “Translocation” is a 16mm and HD travel based video that spotlights some of the world’s best snowboarders traveling to some of the sickest mountain ranges this planet has to offer.

Instead of filming all season to create one video with different riders parts, The “Translocation” project aims to take a different approach at delivering it’s content. “The video will come out in Downloadable Short Films, highlighting each location they visit throughout the year. The shorts will be available for ipods as well as Quicktime. Viewers can then watch the film literally as it is being made. In October 2008 they will release a travel book and DVD that will showcase all their travels. The book will include photos, maps and tons of information on the hot spots to visit. The book will be created in the same style as those backpackers travel books, and will include a full length DVD inside with tons of sick shredding. 

Snowboard.com has provided you with a link to the first short that took place in Argentina featuring the shredding of Andrew Burns, Craig Beaulieu, Chris Coulter and Raul Pinto. You can download the first 6 minute short for $1.99 at the following link.

Snowboard.com News: Still B with Karl Fuhre
By: Snowboard.com


It's been almost a decade since lil' Bastards, why the long wait?

We'll it really hasn't been a decade since we put out a video.  During the filming of Lil' Bastards the Wildcats were born.  The next couple video project that came next simply came out as Wildcats films but obviously followed the same format as Lil' Bastards.   Truthfully at first we weren't even planning to do a sequel.  We just wanted to put out Lil' bastards on DVD for our team and friends.  Before i knew it the project snowballed into a double feature and Dev and JF had some how tricked me into managing the project.

 
I guess you cut Christina and used Paris instead, how did you guys come up with the sound track?
 
For the soundtrack we just wanted something fun to listen to before shredding as well as something we could throw in as a pre-party warm up.  Basically everyone who was involved sent in songs and we went from there.  Musics always a battle because you can never please everyone.  The two songs I really pushed for were the Bastards day song by Eddie Murphy and Rick James "Party all the time" and the credit song by Lionel Ritchie "All night long".  We actually just had someone e-mail in saying they had a girl over while watching Still B's and he got lucky while using it for background music.  That's gotta say something.  The one song that caused us the most problems was the one in Duffs part.  He absolutely hates it and refused to go to any of the premiere for the first month.  He's over it now but we had a couple fun weeks.. ahaha



I noticed JF is the excat same as he was back in 98.  Is everyone still basically the same?
 
Yeah I'd have to say no ones really changed much.  They're all pretty much doing the same shi*t they have since Still Bastards. Snowboarding and partying... That's why we went with the name "Still Bastards" instead of "Big Bastards".  Its not like anyone got any bigger.  I'd have to say out of everyone the only person who's really changed since Lil' Bastards is Devun.  He definitely keeps it classier more often than the rest.  It might have something to do with being married..  But than again, JF has a family he doesn't seem to be slowing down what so ever.


So I guess it's safe to say that it doesn't matter what happens in life, you can always have a good time with your friends?
 
Still Bastards is pretty much a documentary of all our friends having the time of their lives on and off the hill.  Its all about balance, as long as you're having fun you're doing pretty good. haha

 
What's the main thing you hope people take away from watching this?
 
I hope that after watching Still Bastards people will want to go out and buy a shi*t load of IS and WC gear so we can keep doing these types of projects. Haha  Joking, joking... Well half joking.  Still Bastards shows you a pretty up close and personal view of each rider.  After watching it you'll probably feel like you know these guys much better and hopefully understand a little more what IS Design and Wildcats is all about.  Bottom line, we just want people to be stoked to shred and go out and have a good time with there friends.  
 

What is your favourite parts of the movie?
 
Its hard to say which parts are my favorites.  Dev's, Paris, 8mile, Dickie's, Bastards day, Gaetan, Tadashi's, JF's and the credits are all pretty entertaining. Not to mentions the hidden bonus'. 
Finally having Lil' Bastards on DVD is pretty cool too.
 

Big White and ESPO seemed like the crazy trips of the year?  How'd you survive? 
 
I have no idea, both trips definitely took an incredible toll on my health.  I guess just lots of practice.  I've been throwing myself into these extreme types of party situations for years now..

 
How was hanging out with Tom Green and Dave England?
 
Hanging out with Tom Green and Dave England was a blast.  Both those dudes are Fookin' Noots...  They came back to our Condo to party while were up at Big White filming for the feature film "Shred".
Dave wizzed on everything in sight, while Tom got way into Karaoke then stopped us from messing with JF when he was passed out in his own puke.  Its pretty scary when Tom Green's the voice of reason..
 

Do you have any messages or knowledge that you want to pass down to the younger generation?
 
Just do it!

 
Shout outs?

Yeah if you can send people to www.isdsgn.com to buy to movie that would be awesome!

For the month of December anyone who purchases a copy of Still Bastards through our site will also get 1 Wildcats stomp pad, 1 matching Pilsner Koozie, 1 Still Bastards poster and 1 IS design keychain while supplies last!

Unbelievable, yes we know...
